Ange Postecoglou 'Shortlisted by Champions League Club' for Immediate Return

Ange Postecoglou is on the shortlist of a Champions League club, according to stunning reports.

Postecoglou was sacked after just 39 days in charge of Nottingham Forest.

He was appointed last month and failed to win a game during his nightmare spell.

The Australian was appointed Forest manager, having guided Tottenham to Europa League glory last season.

But, of course, he was relieved of his duties at Spurs following their torrid Premier League campaign, having finished 17th.

Postecoglou is once again available following his latest dismissal.

And an immediate return to the dugout could be on the cards, with a bombshell report coming out of Italy.

According to Nico Schira, Postecoglou is among the names on a five-man shortlist to replace Igor Tudor at Juventus.

Schira claims Juve chief Damien Comolli has identified five managers to potentially replace Tudor.

Tudor is under intense scrutiny following his side's dismal form, having been appointed last March after replacing Thiago Motta.

The Italian giants haven't won a game since their 4-3 victory over Inter Milan on September 13 and have yet to win a game in the Champions League this season.

Since their win over Inter, Juve have dropped points to Verona and Como, while losing to Real Madrid on Wednesday.

Postecoglou is believed to be in the frame to take over should Juve part ways with Tudor and is well-liked by Comolli.

Former Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini, Raffaele Palladino, Luciano Spalletti and Eden Terzic are also in the mix.

Ange Postecoglou would 'seriously consider' taking job after Nottingham Forest exit

A swift return to management could be in the offing for Postecoglou given Juve's reported interest.

And, according to a report from Football Insider, the 60-year-old would 'definitely consider' a return to Scottish Premiership side Celtic if the opportunity arose at his old stomping ground.

Brendan Rodgers is currently in charge of Celtic, who trail league leaders Hearts by five points in the Scottish Premiership.

Postecoglou spent two years at Celtic and enjoyed a trophy-laden spell, winning five major trophies, including two league titles.
